Peppadew Fresh Vineyards is a winery in the Morganville section of Marlboro Township in Monmouth County, New Jersey.[1][2] Formerly a flower farm, grapes were first planted in 2011, and the winery opened to the public in 2012.[3][4] Peppadews, the fruit for which the winery was named, were first planted in 2008.[3][5] In 2012, Peppadew Fresh received a $260,000 grant from the United States Department of Agriculture to expand production and distribution.[6][7] The winery has 4 acres of grapes under cultivation, and currently produces wine from grapes purchased from other New Jersey vineyards. By 2016, the winery is expected to produce 900 cases per year from estate-grown grapes.[4][5]

Wines and other products

Peppadew Fresh Vineyards produces wine from Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Pinot gris, Pinot noir, and Riesling grapes.[5] Peppadew Fresh also grows and sells peppadews, azaleas, flowering quinces, hydrangeas, and pussywillows.[8][9] It is the only farm in the United States that cultivates peppadews, a pepper cultivar discovered in South Africa in 1996.[3][10] Peppadew Fresh is not located in one of New Jersey's three viticultural areas.[11]

Licensing and associations

Peppadew Fresh has a farm winery license from the New Jersey Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control, which allows it to produce up to 50,000 gallons of wine per year, operate up to 15 off-premises sales rooms, and ship up to 12 cases per year to consumers in-state or out-of-state.[12][13] The winery is a member of the Garden State Wine Growers Association.[4][14]
